hye lukaswat,
thanx! i'm one of the "dutchies" on this forum lol
and i wanna thank you for this link!
i ordered the desire from day 2 it was announced, so thats like allmost 2months ?
everyday, i look on youtube for some new videos.. and this is really great news !
pleas keep posting thing if you know something new... i'm not really a twitter person.
hartelijk dank lukaswat!
Hey Hans!
Welcome to the club! I ordered it the first day it was announced, 16th of February. Today this is exactly 6 weeks ago.
Will do Hans! No thanks!
Thanks lukaswat. Another Dutchie Desire Fan here (well, an Ex-Pat living in NL!)
It's been agonising seeing my UK friends take delivery of their phones as I wait patiently!
Thanks for the info!
About the "schedule" he's talking about:
"Bij de officiele aankondiging hadden we "half April" gezegd. Desire is nu "begin April". Ik kan niet voor winkels spreken..."
This means:
"At the official announcement we told you "half of april". It will now be "early April", but i can't speak for the shops..."
hmm,now I am dissapointed... PDAshop.be allready said desire's delivery date would be 9 april.
i tought it would be released on 1-2 april or something.
I actually dont get it, the devices are ready.... So why do we have to wait ?
i hope its worth it, i come from an iphone 3g 16gb, first android device for me

Disappointed? Why? Mark already said the 9th of april was a proper delivery date, and he said that quite some time ago. And now he says it's ahead of schedule, so maaaaybe 2nd of april! God i hope so!
Nice! I wont be back in NL until 25 April anyway, but this is great news for the other hollanders here ^^
ohyeah , sorry... my bad
i hope so, what are you gonna do, first charge the battery ? or use it first...
where did you ordered it btw?
I'm just gonna use it till its ~20%, and then use it while its on the charger and give it a couple of cycles of 20%-80% i think.
Ordered it at PDAShop/CoolBlue, a buddy of mine works there, and he said i'm probably like the 2nd or 3rd that has ordered there
im gonna do just the same as you just play, play & play.
that could be, I was number 6 hehe the brown one ..
Hey guys what is the best way to buy this phone in NL???
i dont really care if it is under contract or not, as long as the contract is not more than 35 euro and it is 1 year.

wich supplier ?
Just checked the PDA Shop website again and I see they have bought the date forward by two days. It's showing "Verwachte leverdatum: 07-04-2010" (for the brown version, still showing as 9th for Silver).
Good news....could be better, but good news none the less!
I've ordered mine at algebeld.nl, and the delivery date is still april 2.
Here is a overview someone made on tweakers.net (thx mbrouns):
KPN/Hi 21-april
Telfort 17-april
PDAshop 9-april
Phonehouse 8-april
2Call 7-april
Dynabyte 7-april
GSMweb 2-april
Smartphonestunt 2-april
Vodafone 2-april
Algebeld 2-april
too bad Mark Moons didn't say any date.
Btw. is it possible to buy unlocked phone under contract in the netherlands?
Very good news, i ordered mine aswell at smartphoneshop.be, 2 days earlier, NICE

Well I tell you after delivery
I have been waiting for this phone ever since it was announced and now iv finally got some news of availability in india and its coming soon..
check it out .. sorry cant post urls as of now copy paste the link below thanx .
igyaan.in/2010/11/igyaan-exclusive-desire-hd-and-desire-z-india-launch-on-10th-dec-prices/[/url]
Good News...Badly waiting for it...Looks like the rates are cheaper than what u get in europe...Not sure what's the catch....
WOW they keep rolling them out to other countries despite that according to htc they 'cant keep up with demand' and that is just demand in the uk. i guess this is the reason for the delays ......
however it is good news for those of you who want to pick one up on contract i guess
@Noobdeagle
-No we don't have phones on contract in India...all are sim unlocked.
-You can buy phone from carriers but still have to pay the unlocked price
Recently they released in germany and checked amazon and other sites...its already out of stock in Germany...so Even the phone is announced in india...only the almighty knows how long it will take to actually feel one in hand

really all sim unlocked sounds better than on contract i always import sim-free and no where usually want to sell new handset sim free unlocked and unbranded which is frustrating otherwise id probably have one in my hands already.
i guess htc must just want to get it out there as a sort of advertisement for the product, to get people stuck on never ending waiting lists lol
@v6kgang - well all i can say is that the phone was supposed to release in Nov thru vodafone not bundled or sumthin may be for the launch of 3G but as vodafone 3G is delayed till next year so i think it will be available from local dealers. Since vodafone guys have no clue i managed to get hold of the official distributor for htc devices in kolkata he is saying that the phone shud be here soon but not willing to give definate dates. but he said one thing for sure the phone is definately coming nd pretty soon. So i have my fingers crossed that the 10th dec date is proper info ...
@Noobdeagle - v6kgang is correct there are jbarely 5% of the phones which are branded but they are mostly low end basic phones.
@Noobdeagle - LOL...was thinking about the same thing...they are not able to keep the promise in europe for timely delivery...They just want to add Asian customers as well to the waiting list i guess...
@gaurav - Knew it mate...u can never trust these guys...i still remember iphone came after 2 years to india on contract and is still being sold at around 30K. If it is sold through retailers the price would be un-imaginable...should well cross the 34K mark...lets keep our fingers crossed

I got news that DHD will be launched after December 28. And pricing is the issue for not launching now.
I'm waiting for the mobile to get released officially , even thought the grey market price is 33k in bangalore.. Hope so the wait is worth it..
hey guys got confirmed news from source in kolkata that the phone is coming next week by 22nd or 23rd which means next week. well i think that means the price tussle between the distributors nd htc is over. THANK GOD FOR THAT .. well the price still seems to be 30k+.... but still i have my fingers crossed nd hope htc follows the schedule this time.
I'm getting a little impatient, but I know the time is finally upon us.
Just wondering if anyone's order has shipped yet, I'm just way too excited for this phone
... And a bit anxious to finally get my hands on it!

Not at all what I asked. I know about those, been stalking these forums for a week now.
I asked if anyone order has actually shipped yet, with tracking information and all
useless dumb thread. Handtec said they would start shipping on the 22nd.

Your missing the point...that would be the thread to ask your question, since obviously those posting in that thread are probably likely to had ordered from handtec. Therefore able to answer your question....besides their not shipping out til 22nd
Nothing yet.
too early...its still 4am in the uk. i would expect the emails to come out while we in North America are asleep. I expect some to start coming in around 5am EST (10am UK time)....likely a bit even later than that.
Two guys in Oz just got the tracking number from Handtec/Fedex, ETA 25th!

What happens next?

Finally, thank you for using Dialaphone. We will be in touch with an update to your order.

same here, email received from DAP.
Already being discussed in the UK pre-order thread.
Gutted I got an email about it - got all excited thinking they had dispatched it, to get told information that was (I thought) common knowledge anyway
same, though my email was from phones4u even though I called DAP

Well I did wonder a few days ago, when I noticed the amazon launch date set for 24th April: http://www.amazon.co.uk/HTC-H200-Me...HH3Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333481473&sr=8-1
I'm guessing it will be after this date then!

Yeah, and I think it was phones4u that had it displayed as coming later (18th of April to be precise) - and that was when it was only just available for pre-order!
I ordered from Phones4u and it did say before I ordered that the medialink will arrive up to 28days after the phone.

Funny, I remember reading quite clearly on the DAP site that both would come together, else why would they send a follow up email to say this ain't the case no more? Guess P4U must have sent out a diff message form the start?
Phones4u told me on several occasions they would be shipped together, so I guess its bad advice all around.
Got the same email, got my hopes up thinking the phone had been dispatched early

Well i didnt get the htc one x, i couldnt wait cause 4 poo c's jumped me and stole my phone so i wasnt gonna let them get me down. upgraded my wildfire POS to the sensation xe (red) and also got a media server.
I was waiting for this product and found this thread searching for the release date as i was counting on azamoms you kay projected release date of today.
good luck to everyone on a speedy delivery! Im getting one myself hoping it will work on my sensation xe. maybe the 3 finger swipe to the tv wont work but at least i can utilize the built in router for a private network and the full hd capability.
Well, it was bound to happen eventually.... I have a bad phone it seems. A long story short is the wifi radio is kicking out my carrier signal, I have a yellow burn in on the bottom left hand corner of my screen... and my headphone jack is a HUGE hassle, to get it to acknowledge any headphones... it takes me anywhere from 20 seconds to 3 minutes to get it to work.... I did all the normal stuff, but I am certain most of it is hardware related.
Has anyone dealt with this before? I am sure I am in for a world of inconvenience.... however, I am not sure where I start (handtec, HTC UK, etc).... the phone is less then a month old, ordered April 22. I spoke with HTC in the US and they said I could send it there for repair... but I would be paying the shipping to there, dealing with border delays and awaiting repair.... (which might be better then shipping to the UK).... but I have never dealt with this before, so before I do anything... I thought I would check around and see what my best options are. I live in Canada and I ordered it from handtec UK.
Thanks in advance
My 2nd One X (bought in Australia, Optus handset) has no faults at all (fingers crossed).

Well,bad luck but it is a faulty unit it seems.Why don't you contact the guys where you bought it from and ask for a return?I guess they can replace your phone with a new one and it's much more simpler (and cheaper) than to wait that much to send it to US,get it repaired,pay the shippment..etc.
I did open a support ticket at handtec, but being a weekend.... I expect to wait until monday!
thx

Well i think this are the only solutions you have...even talk to handtec to give you a replacement,or you can talk to HTC,maybe they give you a replacement instead of repairing this one?I mean,i don't know how HTC does it but when i had a Nokia i send it to Finland and in a week they've send me a brand new one.

so the weird part of it all, my beats headphones work perfectly in other devices, each and every time.... however, if I use my apple headphones in the htc one x, it works each and every time.... makes no sense at all, it is like the design of the headphones and phone do not line up or something?!
Oh well, I also have to ship it to them, wait for them to repair and send it back.... but I still think this will be faster then dealing with the us/border delays. Anytime handtec ships me a phone, I get it in 2 days.
